I was reading back through some of the ways the guys here have said to swap my front driver axle. Some say unbolt the two bolts off of the shock tower while others say use a pickle fork on the tie rod. I read that one of the 2 bolts on the shock tower is a camber bolt. If I just unscrew both of them with reckless abandon to get this axle out, won't that royally screw up my camber or is there a trick to it?
 
Unbolt the ball joint in the lower control arm. You can use a pickle fork to seperate it but most likely the boot will tear. I get a big hammer or mallet and whack the spindle where the ball joint shaft goes through. After a couple of whacks just check it to see if its loose. Once its loose just pop the axle loose from the transmission and swing the entire strut assemble out and back towords the rear of the car. That gives you enough room to get the end of the half-shaft free of the transmission. Having a strong buddy help out is a good idea.
